Someone I Can Trust

I keep my cards tucked close Too many hands got burned I smile, but I watch the door I learned what I learned You say you mean what you say That’s rare where I come from I need a steady kind of truth Not a moment of fun If I let go, don’t let me fall If I call out, answer me I’m tired of the almost-right Tired of the make-believe Someone I can trust Someone I can trust Stay when it gets rough Tell me what you want Someone I can trust Someone I can trust Hold it down for us Don’t let me touch dust I’ve seen the pretty kind of lies Wrapped in a velvet tone Sweet words can leave a bruise When you’re alone So prove it in the small things The keys, the call, the time Show me you can stand still When the whole world climbs If I let go, don’t let me fall If I call out, answer me I’m tired of the almost-right Tired of the make-believe Someone I can trust Someone I can trust Stay when it gets rough Tell me what you want Someone I can trust Someone I can trust Hold it down for us Don’t let me touch dust No grand speech No shining line Just show up On time Let me see The real in you Then I’ll give Mine too Someone I can trust Someone I can trust Stay when it gets rough Tell me what you want Someone I can trust Someone I can trust Hold it down for us I’m not asking much
